What California does not publish here

The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Brought my baby here and he enjoyed it, staff treated him well and I love how he became more social. Great teachers, staff and overall recommend!
Kimberly JimenezJan 22, 2026
Our twin daughters have been attending this preschool for a year now, and we truly could not be happier with our experience. Their teacher, Ms. Andrea, is absolutely wonderful. She has an incredible gift with children—our girls were impossible to potty train at home, and Ms. Andrea had them fully potty trained within a week. She even managed to get our very stubborn toddler, who completely refused sippy cups, to finally give up her bottle. We were amazed. Beyond that, the growth we’ve seen has been incredible. Their speech has improved dramatically, and they genuinely love going to “school with friends” every day. It makes such a difference knowing they’re excited to be there. Ms. Yessenia is always prompt, responsive, and supportive whenever we have questions or concerns. Communication is excellent, and the Brightwheel app is fantastic—I love receiving photos and updates throughout the day and feeling connected to what they’re doing. The school’s operating hours are very accommodating for working families, and the indoor and outdoor playgrounds are such a fun touch. Our daughters have formed meaningful bonds with all the staff, (they love Ms Lupita!) and most importantly, we truly feel that they are loved, cared for, and safe while they’re there. We are so grateful for this school and the incredible team that makes it feel like a second home for our girls. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and loving environment.

My child came here for 3 days and I pulled him out immediately!! I can’t speak for the older kids classes but as for the infants classroom please run. They definitely neglect the infants leaving an infant in a swing for 3 hrs and then trying to lie after I brought it up to the owner. I’ve also seen kids in high chairs for long periods of times. Most of the staff kind of just looks at you with a blank face when you bring up a concern. The only positive I can say is Yesenia the owner is very nice. Staff also pretends to be Yesenia when you have a complaint or concern. Let’s not forget they don’t feed the babies as needed or even give the formula that you as the parent provides. If my baby is there for 9hrs a day(as I work) why is my child only being fed 2 bottles within that time but at home eats 2oz every 2hrs? I’ve also heard from word of mouth a staff member has hit a child and they denied it. Definitely find another child care facility!!! I should have known when they had so many openings for the infant classroom this was a bad pick.

My daughter LOVES you guys! When I show her pics you've sent me she gets a big smile and tells me what activities you did that day. She's 2 and can count to 20 and knows her ABCs. Thank you for creating these beautiful memories for her and thank you for loving her as your own. It takes a village to raise a child and we're so grateful your a part of that village ❤

My son loves his preschool It’s a Small World! The teachers are awesome and I love how much space they have for the kids to play (both indoors and outdoors). The curriculum and structure are very good and my son has learned a lot since starting school.
Alexandra DotyMay 22, 2020
